I'm looking for a new resaw blade for my LT-18" Italian-made (ACM) Laguna bandsaw (circa 2003) equipped with a Driftmaster fence. It takes a 148-151" blade up to 1-1/4".
I've done some research on past threads here and seriously considered the Laguna Resaw King, Lenox WoodMaster CT, and Highland Wood Slicer (aka Spectrum KerfMaster).
I work almost exclusively with hardwoods from Walnut to Maple to European Beech to Texas Pecan to Mesquite.
Veneer slices may range from a few inches wide up to the saw's 12" capacity.
My shop sawn veneers tend to be 3/16" off the saw before going through the drum sander.
I have pretty much settled on the Lenox WoodMaster CT and am trying to decide between the 1.3 TPI and the 2 TPI variants.
Any recommendations from those who have tried one or both? Am I missing something (other than lower cost) that should make me take a second look at the other brands?
I'll probably purchase from Spectrum Supply unless someone can recommend a better source.
Thanks for the advice!
Joe
